Degenerate Gamblers Rejoice! The 2019-20 Picking Contest is Here!!

[JasonEvans]

In the spirit of the season (and since the games started early this year) how about we give everyone a New Year’s bonus of $2000?

That way you can dig an even deeper hole (-$7000) before bowing out. And if you already bowed out, you can get back in.

As someone dangerously close to elimination, I like this idea!

The new limit would be put in place on Jan 1... unless folks strenuously object. Please let me know if you think this is unfair.

As one teetering on the brink, I would love another 2,000 FMUs! I don’t think it’s unfair if you let the under 5,000 folk back in. One or two degenerates I think.

[Fish80]

Looks like CameronBlue and NYBri are the two under -5k.

No objection from me. I like the idea.

[Green Wave Dukie]

No objection from me. I like the idea.

Me, too. I could use the 2,000 buffer. I've been in free fall from 4th place not that long ago.

I'm also interested to see NYBri jump back into the ring and start his ascent to the top. And a well deserved shout out to Troublemaker up there. I believe last I checked he was #1 in either O/U or ATS, and #2 in the other. THAT is impressive. (or, the rest of us are just unimpressive, take your choice!)

It is agreed!


Everyone shall get another 2000 in potential losses starting on January 1. So, if you are at -5000, you are back in the race!!

Geoffrey Rush's beard reminds me of brisket, I mean it looks like brisket smells.

Must spread comments around....

[left_hook_lacey]

Come on Yale, don't let me down, keep my streak going! I don't even care about just covering the spread, they can win this game!!

[du_bb1]

Teetering on the cusp, I wholeheartedly agree

So I would mind this idea, why?

Don't wish to sound ungrateful, not in the least, I'm a degenerate to the core and will gladly throw bones with Satan. I think I'd rather see a rule that requires you to bet on at least 50% of the games. Seems like a truer test of gambling degeneracy.

Duke -22.5 tonight against BC.

[Bob Green]

Duke (-22) to cover is tonight’s play.

I was +1,000 yesterday winning the spread and O/U in the Yale game.

Was -22.5, then -22, now -21.5. I'm not sure what the bettors are seeing to have that much confidence in BC to keep it that close.

Perhaps they saw a really rusty Duke a few days ago that could not hit an outside shot (other than AOC).

[Troublemaker]

You actually have BC +22.5, fyi. Not sure if that was a misclick or not.

Anyway, Duke is going to destroy BC tonight and I'm going to finish the day +8900. My 3-0 day today and thus +1500 would by itself be 3rd place in this competition.

Well, 2-1 for +450 ain't too shabby a day, either. I got Clemson-ed, deservedly, for the pre-boast.

Happy New Year, degenerates!

Agreed. I try (have tried for the past two years) to bet on every game (ATS and O/U). There needs to be at least a minimal % of games (bets) that one needs to make in order to play.
